The Unknown Rework Concept – “Unravel” Crawl Ability
I've been brainstorming a rework concept for the Unknown. This rework makes his chase potential his defining trait while keeping his psychological horror theme intact. Tell me what you think! Primary Power – Unravel (Crawl Ability similar to mori) The Unknown drops to all fours, moving with unnatural, predatory fluidity.…

Wow! This year’s Halloween main event is the Skull Merchant and Felix!
So… how long is the Skull Merchant going to stay locked in the Punishment Cell? I’ve always loved her, and I’ve been waiting eagerly. Even though she was featured as the main visual for the event, she’s been stuck in the Punishment Cell the whole time. What kind of Halloween is this! This event should be renamed to…

I think it's the end for killer
Hey BHVR, as someone who's loved playing dead by daylight for the past 5 years, I'm struggling to play killer. Gens seem out of control, Gens pop so quickly these days the game just feels like it's constantly played at a fast pace for killer. I have no idea where my wins are going to come from playing killer without…

Take advantage of the halloween event and complete your killer adepts

120 fps on Dead By Daylight Console
It would be a nice time to give console players on PS5 and Xbox Series X/S the fps option for more than 60 frames per second as you can increase your frames on PC. I think this would be an amazing feature to have in a future update.

Auric cells for the rift

Will houndmaster ever get anything?
Her only purple rarity outfit is locked behind the blood moon event and she has not gotten a single outfit since, not a single bug fix, not a single balance change since her release, and they still have not updated knotted rope which they said they were going to do, but I guess they just kind of forgot about that like how…

survivors need a coms wheel like dbd mobile had
I feel like alot of soloq survivors will find the game much more enjoyable and unlike the anti tunneling and slugging updates i dont see any reason why this cant be added as a QoL since we where unable to get the anti tunneling and slugging. it does not address the issue directly but will encourage teammates to coordinate…

can we add a longer cooldown to the regurgitation on krasue
killer spits on you. if they miss (somehow), they have essentially no cooldown. as soon as they hit you with their spit, they INSTANTLY go into head form and turn into a concoction of wraith and demogorgon (and legion to some extent, since she can vault pallets). maybe make it so that when the survivor gets regurgitated, a…

Sable: From Entombment to Reverence
Yeah, I know - I’m probably gonna get called AI slop. Duh. We’ve all been using AI for years whether you admit it or not - your maps, filters, autocorrect, captions, Spotify, all of it. So keep your shame to yourself. I’m just being upfront about it. This is art, this is expression, and if that’s ‘AI slop’ - then bon…

Every Event, the Same Toxic Behavior
Event games are miserable when killers start tunneling someone right from the beginning and BM everyone. If I remember correctly, every time an event is active, some people start playing like this. I can understand if someone isn’t very skilled and feels the need to tunnel to secure a kill, but when they add BM on top of…

How is Michael worse off then before?
Seriously how…. how did you make him EVEN WORSE. He doesnt even gain faster pallet break speed in Evil Incarnate Mode but he does in Pursuer Mode? How does that make sense why is his ultimate mode worse than one of his normal modes. This is gonna go down as the worst rework yall have ever done that does not rhyme with Bull…

Can we fix the Artist pallet bug please...
There are probably a couple other bugs she still has; I know bhvr has been fixing her a little lately but this has been a bug for months. The Artist's crows have collision with dropped pallets. This means that crows that should have been a direct hit end up swarming instead, significantly weakening Artist's anti-loop and…

Preset names
I actually kinda liked being able to name my builds, it made it easy to navigate back to some of my staple favourites that I don't change. This update though you can still name the presets but it reset them all that I had named already. I think it also removed some builds, I only know this because I have a build…

Slugging for the 4k
When the killer slugs for the 4k, I roll my eyes. I then proceed to crawl into a corner or as far away from the slug point so they waste more time trying to find me. You need it so bad? Work harder for it. Plus it gives me a little side quest so I'm not bored out of my mind. We both would have been on to next match if you…

My issue with how killers are nerfed
I will use the new killer as an example. Before the nerf i like how fluid the killer's game play was. Was she way too strong and need nerfs? Yes. 100%. My issue is the way that she was nerfed, was making her feel so clunky and frustrating to play AS. She is still strong but the fun factor and the nice feeling in the…

Halloween event presets ?
Why now preset on haloween event ? Why I have te rebuild all my characters ? Time waste ….
-
Sexual in game motions should be bannable.
being slugged and humped by the killer needs to be a bannable offence, it can be triggering to someone who has been sexually abused and felt helpless.

Latest update deleted all my presets
Edit: it's only in the event queue as folks pointed out so I can deal. But woof, that's not a great first impression of the event
-
It's not that big of a deal but still.
It’s nearly 2026, bloodpoints are plentiful and Bloodweb items are overflowing, yet time and again, random queue survivors still enter lobbies empty-handed. At the very least bring along a simple brown toolbox. We sometimes complain that playing solo is miserable, and it can be, but it’s hard to make that case when more…

Who's really suffering from pallets?
I've seen a lot of discussion these days about the recent increase in pallets on maps. I thought, "Who's really suffering from pallets?" I made my own tier list. Each killer deserves an in-depth discussion; for example, Wraith, with the right add-ons, could easily be moved to the "eats pallets" category. Or Skull Merchant,…

Community Talk: Entombment & Reverence — Potential vs. Execution
After going through the Entombment and Reverence Rifts, the community has strong, mixed opinions. Both Rifts had amazing concepts - ancient, entombed vibes and cathedral-like stained-glass aesthetics - but the execution fell short. We’re not just venting. DBD players care deeply, and BHVR needs to hear this: we see the…

It's just me, or Survivors queue are getting longer?
Before the update it was like instant Survivor queue, and around 1 minute for Killer. But now I have to queue for 1-2 mins for Survivor, but almost instant for Killer. The BP Bonus becomes killer much more often than before. It's just me or anyone feels the same?

Overture of doom probably the worst hex perk currently
Not gonna say worst perk in general currently. But after running it for numerous games (I didnt know how bad it was) and facing it twice (thats when I figured this stuff out). Its pretty bad. It curses you the moment you touch any gen revealing itself making the idea of it being a stealth perk questionable. Its a hex so…

What is the logic with this matchmaking?
Hi! Very new player here and i'm just wondering is there any kind of "balanced" matchmaking system in this game? Cuz I really dont see how this is balanced in any way as a new player, playin as both killer and survivor i am facing some ultra sweatlords that I have totally 0 chance against, I've won some games as killer yes…

UN-cancel the patch for self pick-up
Hear me out. I'm not saying for the whole game. However, we all know what happens when it's the last 2 survivors… Yeah, the slugging commences. Either I'm on the ground for 3min doing nothing or I'm hiding locker to locker. If it's the last 2 survivors it gives the killer incentive to pick up and hook and gives the last…

Pallets.
Whoever decided the maps needed 1,000,000 pallets must be out of their mind this game killer side was already an anxiety riddled humiliation ritual now you add a pallet every two steps? Adding insult to injury at this point.

New perk idea for survivor
Breakaway Burst (Survivor Perk) Description: The moment you’re freed, pure panic fuels your escape. Effect: When you are unhooked (by yourself or another Survivor), you gain an additional 80% Haste for 4 seconds. This effect cannot activate while Exhausted. Causes the Exhausted status effect for 30/25/20 seconds. “You…

Current map balance (post 9.2.0) - with tier-list
So, here we are again, talking about the map balance. Now that I have had more time to fully test out the maps, and fairly extensively too, I can make a better judgement on how (at least) I feel about the current state of the maps. The TL:DR is in the image A more in-depth breakdown below Pretty balanced for both sides…

New hack

Could hear them but not see them. As huntress threw a hatchet towards where survivor was downed and…

Slugging for the 4k and why it is holding the game hostage.
A survivor can't do anything but hide when the killer is slugging for the 4k. the last surv doesn't have any options other than going for the downed person or doing the 1-5 gens which either way results in a likely down. so the game is at a stale mate until ( A ) the downed person bleeds out or ( B ) the killer finds the…

Why was monitor and abuse nerfed?
In the course of 8 years this perk has existed How come only now did this perk received a nerf all of a sudden?

Lethal Pursuer
Since Distortion was ruined there is no counter to this perk. Feels like every match all the Survivors start together and then the Killer is there in like 3 seconds.

Hook RNG
Had this wonderful hook spawn layout today. Not a single hook in this whole huge area. I've never noticed a hook dead zone this bad. Everytime I tried to pick someone up the hooks were too far and I had to drop them again. I'm not the slugging type, but this forced me to leave people on the ground and re-pursue them once…

why the ghoul is not getting nerfed
two hit and run killers: if the legion misses just once during his power, he gets stunned and receives a full cooldown before he can reuse the power. if the ghoul misses during his power, he gets free retries with generous time to do so. he also has shorter overall cooldown (no addons). i think i may know why. one of them…

Idea for an Anti-Tunnel Mechanic
Tonight I was thinking about anti-tunnel mechanics and what could help dissuade killers from tunneling, without punishing them the way the 9.2.0 PTB did. I think survivors are generally stronger than the killer, and the anti-tunnel changes certainly nerfed killers. I’m glad they didn’t implement the changes, but I still…

Is the Trickster Bat in the Reverence rift bugged?
I was looking at a video of the reverence rift and the bats for the recolors look wrong. The first bat, the normal bat is fine but with the recolors the only things that change are the twitchy hands. The main parts of the bat are still gold, white, and the metal "rays" are still gold. This is especially evident when you…

changed Deerstalker is bad
So Deerstalker no longer shows auras of Survivors on the ground to counter the slugging problem? The thing is when I play Twins, down a Survivor with Victor across the map (Victor already having a small FOV due to his height) and then find another Survivor to jump on, I'm having a really hard time to even find the downed…

Summing Up My Thoughts On the Last Few Months/Years of DBD
I've been playing since 2018, and I've seen patterns come and go in DBD. This video, while long, sums up my thoughts pretty well. Doomer? Perhaps, but it ultimately says what I've been thinking for a long time. Eventually, DBD will collapse under its own weight and I see no way forward besides a DBD 2, as it is clear BHVR…

Weskers terro radius
why does wesker has to have 40 meters terror radius when he has no solid mobility, his both dashes give him 21 meters of mobility (7 first one and 14 second dash) and he suffers huge cooldown after using then and then is on 11 seconds cooldown for both of them (5,5 one dash cooldown time). Compare him to nurse she has two…

Why is the current rift "stained glass" themed and not Halloween?
You may or may not like the "stained glass" theme, but why doesn't a horror game have a Halloween-themed rift? It's been said several times that Halloween is the most important holiday of the year for this game. Some will say, "There's a special Halloween-themed mini rift!" Fine, but that could be an extra... then in the…

Elvira as a killer?
So as per the King's recent birthday interview with Paulie and Cote ( heres the link, for those interested. https://youtu.be/Uo9cmpmU7gk?si=exHfFootMfMe5sse ), Cote confirmed that Elvira, Mistress of the Dark, would not be able to be a survivor because Elvira cannot be killed or sacrificed in a cruel way. (Hence why shes…
